Fitted the new tyre, then rotated the rest of the wheels on the truck, an the 27mm socket fell out of the box right next to the breaker bar....... it was so hard not to resist, so I didnt, gave the torsion bars another turn :oops: I know I know I swore I would leave the front alone but it just sort of happened :oops: ( I did mark it to put back if I see sence :oops: )

well had a go at fitting these today, hahaha, took me just 4 hours to remove the top wish bone, now it looks like im going to have fun geting the old ones out

who needs a press, haha, the good old grinder and a lot of heat to get the old ones of, then a bit of copper grease to get the new ones back in, and slightly shaved a small amount of the new ones, to help them slide in place, jobs a good'en, now got to put it all back together,

still struggling to get a new rod that fits between the track rod ends

Think this might have been a very cunning plan on andy's part here.... :shock:

Take the pug and cant wait to get out of it at the dentist....or

Take a fronty and find mud on the way and never actually get to the dentist as having fun!!


Besides...pugs are french and made out of plastic,brie and onions......and dentists just love the smell of onions I reckon... :shock:

quick chew on the steering wheel before you ventured in and the dentist would have you done and out before you had hardly sat down in the scary chair!! :lol:
